Six generations of the Heritage family have farmed the same land in Mullica Hill, New Jersey since 1853. While past generations farmed apples and peaches, today’s generation is re-tasking the 150 acre estate to grow vineyards for premium wine production. The Heritage family is dedicated to preserving the land and proving a prosperous family business for generations to come.

Heritage Vineyards was named New Jersey’s “Winery of the Year” in 2011 and 2014 by the Garden State Wine Growers Association, Heritage has begun cementing itself as a benchmark producer in New Jersey’s largest wine growing region.

Cultivation of grapes began when Heritage Vineyards was established in 1999 by Bill and Penni Heritage. Seeing the potential of the emerging wine industry in Southern New Jersey, Bill Heritage, with the help of his wife Penni, started converting their 150 acre estate of peach & apple orchards into vineyards. Bill & Penni Heritage, represent the fifth generation of farmers who have tended this land. Great care is given to the vineyards and the grape growing effort because the key to making great wine is to grow the best quality grapes.
